My brain has been fluctuating lately between anxiety and not which has been so incredibly exhausting. I know part of the anxiety is due to a uni assessment which feels overwhelming and isn’t helped by the uni site being slow and annoying.
Yesterday I also lost a morning by being up at the library. I have borrowed two Doctor Who kids books I’d never seen before so that was a plus and I did read some of the new who magazine and some of my book. Following that was the food shop which was draining too.
And ugh, why is the government so fucking… ARGH! I do not understand how anyone can support the ridiculous Rwanda bill which they’re desperately shoving through and trying to claim people want (no one wants it and it wasn’t on the manifesto so they have no mandate for it). It’s just an exercise in performative cruelty and lawbreaking at this point.
I’m tempted to send our useless prick of an MP a message to find out why he voted for it. What about the bill did he like? Was it that it has wasted 4 million of taxpayers money already? Was it that it’ll violate international law? Was it because it claims Rwanda is safe country despite all guidance saying it’s not?
Even if you think asylum seekers are a problem that needs solving (not an opinion i hold) why would you support this bill? It’s already a waste of money and it would only send about 100 people (in exchange for 100, which they seem to forget about) so how is that supposed to help? if you really care about this issue then put money into getting applications processed better, not this.
UGH!
Sorry about the politics rant but as you can tell this pisses me off. This incompetent government needs to go because it cannot do anything that’s solves anything. (Don’t get me started on the covid enquiry either, my for you is full of things from it and each one pisses me off. These people should be nowhere near positions of power and should be in prison)
Anyway.
I had hoped to get Devil In Me done but between creative inspiration and the tiredness yesterday. However I am really loving the atmosphere of it. The saw vibes are now fully on display (one thing was even like one of the traps, but with mannequins) and I honestly love how spooky and suspenseful it is. I had hoped to finish it before the Ranboo does it on the subathon since he’s meant to (hopefully I’ll get to go on it during a lull in the subathon).
Today I got the new Christmas radio times issue and there’s some good things on over Christmas/new year. There’s some new year and Christmas specials which look good (Bake Off, Pottery Throw Down, Sister Boniface, Doctor Who, Death In Paradise) and some shows are starting up again (theres a famous five adaption that might be the start of a series but I’m not sure, there’s Madame Blanc and Father Brown too). And The Empty Man is back on tv so i can finally watch it and finish it!
The strangest thing of all that I saw in my quick flick through? That on Christmas Day is the Addams Family 2 on BBC1. It’s a strange choice, but it’s the new animated one and I’ve not seen it so I’ll be watching.
Anyway, Doctor Who thoughts under the cut.
